> In plenty of modern and democratic countries you actually still can live while flipping burgers. Depending on your demands on quality of life I'd doubt that. Somewhere 1988 to 1989 I 'flipped burgers' as a so called crew-trainer fulltime, and made almost 5000 Deutsche Mark per month (after taxes, 'netto'), due to mostly working late/night-shifts. Inflation adjusted that would roughly be about €5000/USD now. I think you'd be lucky to reach 2400 to 2800 now, as 'normal' burger flipper, or one level up, as crew trainer, no matter if working late/night shifts. (Because the financial benefits of working late/night are mostly gone now)
